The objective of the FWS Acid Precipitation Mitigation Program (APMP) is to investigate the ecological aspects of liming, using aquatic systems representative of those exposed to acidic deposition and as risk of damage. Findings from the research will provide guidance for resource managers electing to initiate mitigation measures. APMP is a cooperative effort with individual states combining federal and state support for relatively long-term monitoring of treated lake and stream systems. To ensure the high degree of conformity required in data collection and for quality control, specific protocols were developed for the field sampling and laboratory analyses. The measurements of these selected physical, chemical and biological parameters were designed to reflect the environmental factors that are most responsive to liming treatment and that have biological importance. In this paper the authors describe the study sites in this program and present some of the preliminary results of the first year of field and laboratory work.
